Introduction:

Primary health care provides solutions to up to 80% of health problems, so its managers should lead, control and strengthen the application of traditional therapies according to scientific evidence achieved, in correspondence with the economic reality; as well as raise the capacity to cope with the impacts of disasters, climate variability and change.

Objectives:

To design an action plan from risk reduction management aimed at primary health care managers to face the impacts of disasters, variability and climate change with the application of traditional therapies.

Methods:

A documentary analysis of the legal framework at international and national level, analysis and synthesis of scientific articles, master's degree, diploma and doctoral studies, and modeling was carried out.

Results:

An action plan was designed from disaster risk reduction management in primary care, as a tool for managers to face the impacts of climate variability and change that favors the application of traditional therapies.

Conclusions:

The plan with its four lines of action constitutes a practical tool for primary health care managers in the development and control of the application of traditional therapies of proven safety and efficacy. It is integrated into disaster risk reduction, based on the analysis of vulnerabilities to disasters, variability and climate change, and promotes activities at inter-sectorial sustainability-multidisciplinary level.
